Paint it or Punt it
Minas Tirith - Spear and Shield
Another batch of Minas Tirith warriors done in the last week. This was a smaller group, just 15 of them but represents all of the spear and shield models in the collection.
Spears can get in the bin. One day I might go through and replace them all with metal ones but this is what I had for now.
51 minis since the end of May: around about 40% of the Gondor models from the eBay armyBy the end of them, fatigue had started to kick in with the paint scheme so I’m giving myself a couple of weeks off. I’ve worked out that to finish all of my currently owned MESBG minis by the end of the year, I need to get through 12 a week.
Looking through what’s left for something a little different to paint I found all the Rivendell elves (from the Last Alliance) and so they are in Dettol with a test model done.
Looking good. What a productive line to get so many ‘similar’ miniatures completed without getting bored or distracted. Looks like you will have a great little army in no time. Well done. Great work.
Thanks very much. It’s largely been doing 5 at a time and then painting something else tbh. I’m trying to get better at having the patience for batch painting but some schemes are definitely more tedious than others – these are particularly boring to paint.
I also don’t particularly intend to run them as an army! I bought them when Gondor at War came out on the off chance that at some point in the future I have friends who want to play some of the narrative scenarios >.<
